Technology Review mentions a new computer screen developed by University of Tokushima researchers in Japan that can only be viewed from directly in front of the screen, making the view from any other angle a random pattern of pixels (which I have simulated in the image to the right, using my special all-rainbows fork of The GIMP). It’s not just an LCD panel with a very narrow mask, either. Each pixel is randomly masked by one of eight different colors, providing “8 to the 256-times-256 power” different masking options that change, presumably, every time the screen refreshes.
